Kenan Premiere Date on NBC; When Will It Air?

What Is Kenan About?

Warning: This is not a show about “Kenan Thompson” himself.

Kenan (character in the show), the recently widowed host of Atlanta’s No. 2 morning show, struggles to balance his job and his young daughters despite all the “help” he gets from his grifter father-in-law and his brother/assistant/manager/house guest.

The Kenan Show, which is written by Jackie Clarke and directed and executive produced by Chris Rock, centers on Kenan (Thompson), who strives to be a super dad to his two adorable girls, played by Dani Lockett and Dannah Lockett, while simultaneously balancing his job and a father-in-law, played by Andy Garcia, who “helps” in the most inappropriate ways. Punam Patel also co-stars. It is produced by Universal TV and Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video.

Beloved Saturday Night Live cast and NBC family member, the irresistibly funny Kenan Thompson stars in a new family comedy that delivers on his undeniably charming and wondrously magnetic personality. In the series, Kenan strives to be a super dad to his two adorable daughters, while balancing his job and a father-in-law who “helps” often in the most unhelpful ways. Kenan’s got a lot to juggle, but if anyone can do it, he can!
